Film Talk - Music/Video: The Magic of Michel Gondry

September 18, 2024

Dive into the whimsical world of Michel Gondry with local filmmaker and PBS producer Jeremy Cropf. In this Film Talk, we'll explore a curated selection of Gondry’s most groundbreaking music videos, showcasing his unique creative flair.

From Björk’s surreal visuals to Beck’s playful narratives and The White Stripes’ inventive concepts, Gondry’s work stands as a testament to his visionary approach. We’ll also examine how his distinct aesthetic transitioned from music videos to feature films in the 2000s and 2010s, leaving an indelible mark on both music and cinema.

Join us for a two-hour journey through Gondry's imaginative universe and discover why his work continues to captivate audiences around the world.
